    Dina, you have no idea how much confidence you gave me with this video! I never took art classes except for a textiles class in high school & photography in college. I never thought I could ever draw anything, especially a face! I could scrapbook my photos, and just started some mixed media stuff. But until I saw your videos, I would never even attempted to draw a face! But tonight I watched it again and actually drew a fairly decent job! I still need to practice, but I'm so amazed! Thank you for making it so easy and fun!

    I watched this day before yesterday, and posted how delighted I was. Today I painted a face and had success. I then showed my friend the new one, and she saw it was different, but now why. I showed her two other older ones so she could see the difference. The older ones looked good, but when put next to the newest it was amazing the difference.
    Thank you again. You made my day and shifted the quality of my painting.

    Hello Dina,
    I have attended classes and read /watched dozens of books & videos on how to draw a face, and I can honestly say I think yours is the best. I don't know exactly what it is that makes it such a standout, though I think some of it has to do with the way you talk about your reference points so kinesthetically. Even though I make them look right, sometimes I fall back on an old habit of "straight mouth" which I then have to work away from, taking extra time messing with paint/drawing. I don't think that will happen now I have seen how you start your mouth. Most teachers put a line, then work it. You have your reference lines, but then start your mouth with the crescent. Thank you. I will not longer have that mental mess. And since I paint a LOT of faces in both my art journals and for hanging, this is going to help. Funny thing, those little tricks that can change a career of habit. Blessings to you on your wonderful career and all of the hard work you are putting in. I am sorry I will miss you in Redmond, WA later this month.

    Thank you so much Dinah! Your tutorial has definitely simplified this technique of drawing faces. I have drawn faces before but they look more like caricatures lol 😄 your video is the best by far! Some tutorials are far too advanced and quite intimidating tbh. I have saved this tutorial to playlist so I can watch it again as a resource/ refresher ❤

    Please, for the love of Pete, caption these videos!! I am profoundly deaf and rely totally on captions to understand what is being said. Especially when the majority of the video is on the artwork and not on the artist's face (seeing the face is essential for lipreading!). In this day and age, there's no excuse for videos not being captioned.
    Having said that, I enjoyed the drawing and could follow it a bit from the demonstration. But, captions would provide a great deal more information. Thank you!!
